The Value of a Minor in Philosophy

"Ethnometaphysics... is concerned with the exploration and analysis of the conceptual structures of different cultures. One of its implicit assumptions is that all people do not cognitively organize human experience in the same way and thus there exists a variety of "world views," perhaps as many as there are distinct cultures. " --- Thomas Overholt and J. Baird Callicott
